Exactly one year ago today, I had the opportunity to participate in a retreat with Oliver and his wonderful team – a journey that truly changed my life. From the very beginning, I felt safe and supported, which allowed me to fully engage in the process. The path was not always easy – many things had a lasting effect, and there were many confrontations with myself. But that is exactly what allowed me to heal and change so much. I managed to quit smoking completely (thank you for your words, Oliver...), I sleep better and I am proud of how far I have come since then. This retreat helped me to accept my life more, to find peace with my decisions and to become more free inside.

A big thank you also goes to Sergio, who guided us so powerfully through the ceremonies, and to Jenna, Caroline and Kevin, who made this retreat a safe and unforgettable experience with their warmth and presence. I can't wait to have this experience again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this safe space.

Letting Go
Before:
Holding on to fears and patterns, strong victim complex. Inclintation to maintain control.
AFTER:
Healing my nervous system and relationship with fears
Able to start letting go - it's a process
I can see how I manifest my own victimhood

Attending the Harmonica retreat was one of the most profound and enlightening experiences of my life. While the work was undeniably intense and at times deeply confronting, it was exactly what my spirit needed. This was not a vacation—it was a sacred journey inward, one that asked me to face my fears, release old patterns, and truly surrender to the medicine. And in that surrender, something powerful shifted. I feel like I left a version of myself behind and returned more aligned with who I truly am 🌱.

One of the most beautiful takeaways was the bonds I formed with other participants. The shared vulnerability and intention of the group created a deep sense of connection that I will carry with me always. Lifelong connections were formed, and I felt truly seen in ways I never have before 💫.

This retreat taught me that healing is not always gentle, but it is always sacred. The path to reintegration begins the moment you surrender. For anyone considering this work, my advice is to come with an open heart, clear intentions, and a willingness to let go of everything you think you know. Trust the facilitators. Trust the medicine. Trust yourself. You will not leave the same person you arrived as 🕊️.

Thank you, Harmonica, for holding me through such a transformational chapter. I am forever grateful.

Ayahuasca is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological treatment. It is not a cure for any physical, mental, or emotional condition, and individual experiences vary significantly based on each person’s unique history, intentions, and circumstances. All prospective participants are required to complete a thorough health screening prior to attendance, as ayahuasca carries real risks for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking contraindicated medications.
